A perfect gift

I bought this as a gift. From the pictures, it was hard to tell if it would be appropriate, but I decided to take a chance. I am glad that I did. It is dainty but it still has presence. I bought it for someone who is small but has presence and this is perfect for her. It should be shown on someone?s wrist in the pictures so you can see how nicely it flows.

"My father always suggested that I live a simple and humble life because life is not only for the present day, but also for a bright future."

"My name is Asmara Putra, which literally means, 'son of love.' I was born in 1991 in a part of Bali famous for its silver jewelry. My father, Wayan Asmana, is a Novica-featured artisan and a master silversmith.

"I watched him and my mother craft silver jewelry ever since I was a boy. When I was in junior high school, they began teaching me our family art and I learned about materials, tools and techniques. After graduating with a English literature degree, I started setting up my own silver jewelry workshop.

"I really like Bali's engraving motifs, and I include them in most of the jewelry I craft. When I was just starting, people underestimated me, but I took everything as a positive improvement so I could improve my work.

"The more people criticized me, the more motivation I gained. I've learned by doing and by being aware of my past failures, until things finally became stable. I believe that by continuing to work hard, there is a way to find a satisfying result.
